I have completed my MCPD Enterprise Developer 3.5 cert,Can you please let me know which path should I take for upgradation to 4.0 certification as the upgrade certification path paper 521 and 523 shows it's expiring on July 31.

1- Not that much. I don't believe that certifications itself prove that you're a very good professional. It's usefull, of couse, in some specific situations and technologies, but experience is more important to me.

3- yes. It would be nice, but Not that important. it's good for begginers to get motivated, but, today, I think that someone with a solid experience with this language willl not see many use of it.

I guess that meant there were problems with the beta and we need to do it again? Or was something else the matter? This has never happened to me before.

Thanks.

Since Microsoft has recently upped the Gold partnership requirements, our NEED to be certified in .NET 4.0 ASAP.

On a side note, there is an ERROR on the Web page described what certifications are earned when passing the UPGRADE exam 70-455. When passing this UPGRADE exam you should earn both MCTS and MCITP credentials for SQL Server 2008, not just the MCITP credential.
